! A degenerate "hard disk partition table" covering this boot
! sector (possibly needed if booting from a USB drive).
.seek 0x1BE
.data1 0x80 ! boot indicator (0x80 = active)
.data1 0x00 ! partition start head
.data1 0x01 ! partition start sector and start track high
.data1 0x00 ! partition start track low
.data1 0x7F ! OS or filesystem indicator
.data1 0xFF ! partition end head
.data1 0xFF ! partition end sector and end track high
.data1 0xFF ! partition end track low
.data4 0 ! partition start LBA
.data4 0xFFFFFFFF ! length of partition in sectors
! ...and we need this to fool the PC into booting our boot sector.
.seek 0x1FE
.data2 0xAA55
